Oregon Sport Notes
i By FRED HAMI"30N
Associated Prett Staff Writer
Some of the boys in the press
section were not in what you
would describe as close agree
ment with Referee Tom Louttit's
draw decision in Tuesday night's
Costello Cruz-Jack Chase mid
dleweight fight in Portland.
They thought Chase won with
something to spare.
This correspondent, scoring
the battle for the AP, figured it
was 5 to 1 for the Colorado ne
gro with four rounds even. If
you had to split hairs three of
the even rounds could have been
awarded to Chase and one to
Cruz. -j.
George Bertz of the Journal
scored it the same way. Al
Stump of the Oregonian figured
Chase had chased Cruz well out
of a draw. L. H. Gregory of the
Oregonian, however, figured iti
was even enough for a draw ver;
diet although' conceding an edge
to the negro. : v
Chase and his handlers didn't
protest the verdict, which seem
ed a little unusual, so maybe a
rematch or two is in the offing.
The patrons whether they
approved the decision or not
were treated to one of those box
ing rarefies a match between
two boxing experts which did
not deteriorate into a fancy
dance. It .was full of tough,
hard fighting. ,
Chase was the exception that
proves the rule that a boxer who
is on his tip-toes can't hit very
hard. He sledged in some dam
aging cracks without getting off
his toes wallops that made
Cruz blink and back away: In
close he proved the equally ven
erable ring adage that the tight
er who punches straightest gets
the best of the in-fighting. The
negro almost never swung Just
chopped, alternating with an oc
casional uppercut and now and
then a hook. V ... .
